the vertical face oflltheql vei'sithei ay citizen oi the vlllnited States, residing" rtf-entire u-riacefoffthat. tace olgtlie' -st1a l lFalls Churcinin the county of Fairfax and State ofvirginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Glazing-@trips for Window-Frames, of which lthe following is a speciiication, reerencebeing h ad there-in to the accompanying drawing. This invention relates to an in `Glazing strips for window trames and itis em odied in the construction and arrangeinentvof parts presently to be described and defined in the c aim.

While the invention is primarily intended for use in connection Withwindow frames, it is to be understood that it can be employed in connection with glazing or securingglass in other frames-such as door frames or fifa-mes which are exposed to the weather.

The object of the invention is to provide4 improvement for securing panes of glass in exposed frames 1n a mannerthat will render tite joint per fectly tight, preventing thereby the movement of the pane of glassl in the frame and which will exclude all moisture from the joints.

A further object of the invention is to pro- .vide a strip which will effectively takel the 3G place of the well known putty, which is now 'so largely used in connection with the securing of panes of glass in frames.

Primarily the invention consists of a stripv i of Wood, preferably having its face opposite the glass wholly coveredavith a materiall which will forni not only a cushion but a seal so that the glass will be held firmly in place and the joint sealed against the entrance of moisture. 1 40 In the drawing, Figurel is a perspective view of a length of strip embodying the invention, Fig. 2 is a section through a Window frame showing the glass in place and a strip applied, and Fig. 3 is a cross section tnouga one of the strips.

. A designates the Window frame having the usual glass ree'eiving rabbet at one edge, B designatesthe glass, and C designates the improved glazing* stri The glazing strip C ll; of a strip oi Wood of triangular shape, as shown, or of* any other suitable shape. The vertical lace of the strip C formed perfectly plain or flat and has permanently secured thereto a strip l),

broken surfacefis provided .edgeportion .oi theuglitss, shown;

when the strip is applied, 'the joint between that in applying the'strip thc glass is not ai liable to be broken and yet the strip can be 11e clearly shown. in the dr y from the lowered'ge ofthe.'n tri as the viac'i'ngstrip) does mst" use yis brought closeaga When in thisposition, the strip (lis tacked or nailed into position and thereby the glass is held iirmly in place. To iorm a complete seal between the strip and the glass, l coat the facing D with an adherent and nonabsorbent "material, such as a coating of white lead, indicated at d. This material is absorbed by the absorbent facing strip and renders the same in that particular impervious and free from the deteriorating action of the Weather or moisture. It also serves to complete the seal between the strip and the glass. In' practice, the bottom ci' the strip C, as shown in Fig. 3, is also coated with the lead preparation or adherent so that S0 the same and the l'rame and' glass is completely sealed.

The strip made in accordance with this invention can be manufactured very cheaply in lengths and cut to iit the necessary opening to be closed, can be quickly applied, Will receive a decorative or reservingcoating of paint, and can be easi y removed without del'acing the sash, in case of the re lacement' of a 'pane ol'l glass. By having he entire vertical lace el the strip laced with the yielding sealing material, the strip is ren,- dered usel'ul in connection uith any irregular panes of glass, in that the material can be compressed more or less so as to accommodate the strip .to the irregular surfaces with which it contacts.

Modified forms vcan be made as to the shape of the exposed or outer 'lace of the strip, so long as the facin T strip covers the 100 entire glass abutting sur ace of the strip. When I use the term wood, I desire it understood that any fibrous material may be employed which would be the equivalent thereof.

' An important advantage ol' the strip being made` of wood and having its entire contacting surface covered by the yielding facing is forced tight up toward tile glass primarily I claim as new and desire to secure'by Letor by tac ing. ters Patent is:

yAn additional advantage of employing Means for securing glass in frames conwooden strips is that the strips can be easily sisting of a Wood stri havinG an angular made in any length and by a carpenter portion, one face of W ich is ieormed to fit readily sawed or cut to roper lengths to fit. the glass and the other the frame7 the glass By the use of Wood a so, the joint is not fitting face being covered With a lining ol aected by variations of temperature, the soft absorbent material having incorporated expansion or contraction of the stri being therein and coated on its outer face with la the same as that of the sash towlnch it is l non absorbent preserving material. 4. applied.
